The state of Wisconsin has 5 four-star recruits in the Class of 2027

In the new era of college basketball, the Wisconsin Badgers have primarily focused on the transfer portal, looking for ready-now players that fit their needs.
As a result, there hasn’t been as much of a focus on high school recruiting, with Wisconsin primarily focusing on certain in-state players and overseas connections. In their 2025 class, the Badgers got a top talent, four-star guard Zach Kinziger, who wanted to be at Wisconsin.
Three-star in-state center Will Garlock was a similar fit, while guard Hayden Jones and forward Aleksas Bieliauskas were overseas additions.
In the class of 2026, Wisconsin got in early on three-star in-state forward LaTrevion Fenderson, while also tapping into the overseas pool with guard Jackson Ball.
However, things could change in the 2027 class, where the in-state pool of talent is looking very good from the initial outlook.
There are already five four-star recruits from the state of Wisconsin in the Class of 2027: forward Donovan Davis, forward Dooney Johnson, guard Jalen Brown, forward Jack Kohnen, and forward Kager Knueppel.
They’re all top 115 players in the Class of 2027 according to the 247Sports composite, and everyone but Knueppel already has an offer from Wisconsin after this week.
Several were in town to camp with the Badgers this week, standing out amongst the pack as Wisconsin got to see the talented group in person.
Of course, when it comes to high school recruiting, fit and NIL will still be relevant, but the Badgers could be in for something with their 2027 class.

BREAKING: Wisconsin football secures commitment from top-ranked class of 2026 running back

Wisconsin football received a commitment from highly-coveted class of 2026 running back target Amari Latimer on Saturday.
Latimer, who recently whittled his list of finalists down to the Badgers, Michigan Wolverines, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns and Tennessee Volunteers, received over 40 overs during his recruiting process. The top-ranked running back officially visited Wisconsin the weekend of May 30 and makes his link to the program permanent with his decision.
247Sports, On3 and Rivals all list the 6-foot, 215-pound running back as a four-star recruit. 247Sports’ composite considers him the the No. 288 overall player in the class of 2026, No. 17 running back and No. 33 recruit from his home state of Georgia. Of note, the Tyrone, Georgia, native will reunite with his older brother Geimere Latimer, who transferred to UW this winter following a stellar season on defense at Jacksonville State.
While his decision to commit to Luke Fickell’s program was far from a no-doubter, recruiting outlets linked Latimer to Madison weeks ago. 247Sports Wisconsin insiders Evan Flood, Jon McNamara and Nick Osen all released crystal ball predictions connecting him to Wisconsin as far back as May 8.
During his third season at Sandy Creek High School, Latimer logged 136 carries for a whopping 1,113 rushing yards and 15 scores on the ground, in addition to 27 receptions for 363 yards and four receiving touchdowns. The 2026 prospect logged at least 100 rushing yards in six games, including a 194-yard performance in a 20-point in on Aug. 30.
Latimer becomes the 15th overall recruit to join Wisconsin’s class of 2026 cohort and ninth since the beginning of June. His decision is especially notable given four-star edge Jackson Ford’s recent commitment to Penn State on Friday, Ben Duncum’s pledge to the Kentucky Wildcats on Wednesday and defensive lineman Kobe Cherry’s commitment to Purdue on Monday.
Most importantly, Latimer is the first running back to pledge his commitment to UW in the 2026 cycle. He will now look to join the list of legends, including Jonathan Taylor, Melvin Gordon, Braelon Allen and Montee Ball, who have graced the scarlet and red at position.

Enraged Wisconsin motorist caught on video thrashing ‘idiot’ driver’s car with stick in road rage rampage

A stick-swinging Wisconsin motorist went berserk and thrashed another driver’s car in the middle of traffic during a road rage rampage caught on camera.
The explosive footage captured the blood-soaked driver, identified as Mike Chaltry, storming out of his car and violently smashing the windows of a white Nissan behind him with a stick on a busy downtown Milwaukee freeway Tuesday afternoon.
The Nissan quickly backed up during the chaotic attack and then lunged forward, nearly pinning the frenzied man against another car before attempting to speed off, the dramatic video showed.
But Chaltry followed the car on foot and landed a few final whacks before the fiery clash fizzled out.
“I’m not the one who started it,” Chaltry told WISN 12 News following the tempestuous scuffle, admitting that he’s now the “face of road rage” in Milwaukee.
“I mean, he was driving like an idiot.”
Chaltry claimed the intense encounter began when the other driver recklessly tried to cut him off on the highway as their bumpers nearly collided.
The loose cannon recounted how the hot-headed motorist allegedly followed him off the highway before walking up to his driver’s side window when they were stopped at a light and punching him multiple times in the face — prompting Chaltry to grab his stick and start swinging.
“He sucker punched me through the window of my car and broke my nose – I got stitches,” Chaltry told the outlet, noting that he “didn’t see it coming.”
“He put my life in danger three times. When he hit me on the highway, when he punched me in the head and when he tried hitting me with his car. I think you saw that in the video. There’s no need for that. I just don’t get it. I was angry, but I had good reason to be angry. He didn’t.”
Cops later arrested the unidentified Nissan driver for suspected battery — and hit him with citations for driving without both insurance and registration, the local outlet reported.
Chaltry also faces possible charges for disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property after his case was referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office.
